Asensio looks poised to leave Real this summer after the Spanish club reportedly made it clear they would not sanction a new contract for the midfielder.
As per express report, Asensio has been with Real ever since a 2014 move from Mallorca. During that time he has won three La Liga titles and three Champions League trophies, but has often struggled to hold down a regular starting position with the club. It now seems as though the time has come for the 26-year-old to move on.

According to Spanish radio station Deportes COPE, Real have ‘no intention’ of offering Asensio a contract extension. He is currently under contract until June 2023, but Los Blancos do not want to lose him on a free transfer next summer. Instead, they will try to sell now, while his value remains relatively high.
A fresh report from Sport says Real value Asensio at around £34.5million (€40m) and will put him ‘up for auction’ amid interest from United, AC Milan, and Chelsea.
The midfielder, who has 49 goals and 24 assists in 235 games for Real and can play across a range of attacking positions, reportedly wants assurances over his game time and around £6m-£7m per season in wages.JAMB Result
